03 The facts, at a glance
Protection
Filter type Mineral filters (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) sit on skin and reflect UV. Chemical filters absorb UV. Hybrid runs both.
Chemical
Broad spectrum Covers both UVA and UVB. UVA drives aging and deeper damage; UVB gives you burns.
Yes
Formulation & feel
Texture How it feels going on — milk, gel, cream, spray, stick, essence, lotion, powder, or cushion.
Gel
Finish How it looks once dry: matte, natural, dewy, or glowy.
Natural
Tinted Adds sheer pigment (iron oxides) that masks the white cast common to mineral filters and gives a skin-tone finish.
No
Fragrance-free No synthetic perfume added. Not FDA-defined in the US; the EU requires 'Parfum' + the 26 named allergens on the label. 'Unscented' is different — it can hide masking fragrance. Botanical oils still scent.
No
Alcohol-free No drying short-chain alcohols (alcohol denat., SD alcohol, ethanol). Doesn't mean fatty alcohols like cetyl or stearyl — those are emollients.
No
Verdict Is it worth it?

Budget chemical gel built on octinoxate, octocrylene, and DHHB at SPF31. Denatured alcohol sits second on the list, with fragrance, methylparaben, mineral oil, and TEA also present — sensitivity and health axes are the lowest in this set.

Pros
  • DHHB provides a modern UVA filter
  • Coix seed extract and sodium hyaluronate included
  • Squalane added for skin feel
  • High-volume 250ml pump suits body use
Cons
  • Denatured alcohol second in the ingredient list
  • Octinoxate and methylparaben present
  • Fragrance, mineral oil, and TEA on the label
  • SPF31 below most daily-use peers

Who it's for: Cost-sensitive buyer wanting a high-volume gel for body application and willing to accept ethanol, octinoxate, parabens, and fragrance.
